about

This track is about being an immortal being, with relation to the red flower and dabbling on the red queen as well. This track focuses more on the immortal side of things and how mortals are vain and blind to all their faults.

lyrics

Twelve dreams for the Red Queen under the crown of stone
Eight voracious beasts born from eight restless nights
Four nails piercing the flesh of the sinner
One prayer for summoned called by this song

A righteous snare to keep mankind from ascending to the stars
Mortality was believed to be god's punishment

Since the apple was plucked from the sacred tree
They were all wrong

Death is not a wicked thing
Is this her inhabitants last dance?
Alone to face death and pestilence
Confronted by the eerie and unknown
Mortals became desperate for answers
A flocks flight makes for an omen
The falling of a star
A dire presage turning to priests for interpretation

When religion failed men turn to science
I saw them build such vain cities, crafting machines made for endless war

New questions flourished as old answers withered

What is darkness but lurking sun?
What is wall but enslaved stone?
What is glass but tortured sand?
What is song but a call to arms?
What is hate but jilted love?
What is life but death pending?
Life is just death pending

A righteous snare to keep mankind from ascending to the stars
Mortality was believed to be god's punishment

Since the apple was plucked from the sacred tree
They were all wrong
Death is not a wicked thing
Nor some holy retribution
A true punishment would be to never know
It's sweet kiss, awake from the harshness and be born once more.

about

HARBINGER image

HARBINGER London, UK

Underpinning righteous fury with thick, groove-laden riffs, anthemic choruses and shredding guitar solos, Harbinger package high-minded concepts and techniques with primitive savagery and raw heaviness. Backed by big riffs, untamed heaviness and technicality, Harbinger are pushing the boundaries of modern metal, but with a lot of consideration and respect for the foundations and roots of the genre ... more
